5 way binding post connection advice

looking for advice on hooking up 12 awg wire to binding posts. My speakers have a large enough hole in the post to run the bare wire through, so I dont need a secondery contact point as with an adapter. My amplifier and suwoofer have 5 way binding posts that I will need a connector. Locking banana pins sound solid, but I am looking for advice from someone who may have tryed the options. Thank You, and enjoy your holidays, Guycom

I recall with my ProAcs, they recommended the use of untinned bare wire. I believe the owner's manuals indicated that once tighted down hard, the post cuts into the copper, creating a oxygen-free seal. If you are really worried about it, you could always trim the wire back a little and redo the connection every year or so...

Just a thought.
